Stop weighing yourself everyday. I weigh myself once a week. Mondays, which was my surgery day. You could even weigh less if you wanted, everyone is different. I tried once a month but I couldn't wait that long. haha Once a week works well for me though.

Roller skating sounds like a blast. They closed down our one roller rink during the pandemic and it's been demolished. Maybe I can look into inline skates - do they still make those? Also, I remembered I have like $60 credit at my vape shop I've been saving up and now I have to quit vaping - but they recently grew and now are more of a vape/head/FRISBEE GOLF shop. AND, they just built a brand new frisbee golf course just outside my building on campus so I'm feeling like the universe is trying to tell me something.

I agree with you! However, I wanted to reassure those who do slip up during the pre-op liquid diet that it's not the end of the world and will probably not impact their surgery.

I wish I was running, but I have an ongoing knee problem that I really need to get an MRI for. Have a horrible suspicion it may be osteoarthritis. So my desire to return to my non-gym "happy place" has been foiled. I do love the gym, and have yet to join the new local one after a recent house move. So my new low-impact activity is bike riding. I also love a nice walk (great for listening to podcasts), and have plans to re-learn to rollerskate. Because my heart never really left the 70s and 80s aesthetically, and if I was young, I'd be all over roller-derby.

I'm with you on that! I watch people run and wonder how they do that 🤣 it looks like it would be fun though 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ok so took the vitamin chewable tablet with food and I was ok. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

From what I remember your body can only process/ absorb a certain amount of protein at a time so any more would just be excreted out and a waste but check with your dietician to see what they say

My surgery is scheduled for September 6th. I had my initial appointment with my weight loss center on April 1st. I am also using Baritastic. I have used My Fitness Pal previously, but like Baritastic better. I have been slacking a little, but getting back to it. I am nervous, but so excited.

It must depend on the doctor Sent from my SM-G781U using BariatricPal mobile app
